What saw is on your list to find?
I'm just looking on the cheap for poulan 3000 even though I have a Craftsman 3.0 in grey. Found a builder not so cheap for what it is but still more then I'd pay.
Wouldnt mind finding a cheap stihl 261 builder still stock.
Maybe a husky 242.
partner 7700 710 660 are always on my want list. But pretty rare even abroad. Not into shipping saws in from abroad just to add to my saws.
Be neat to check out that husky 572xp.
Key words CHEAP for a cheapazz
Out of necessity, I'm also doing the saw thing on the CHEAP. Got more saws than I 'need' by a long stretch. Thinning the herd..........adding to it...................thinning the herd again......................adding more saws again. Neverending cycle.
For the most part, it's not a matter of finding a saw (or 'looking' for it).........it's finding one cheap enough that's still worth putting time/money into. Here's my 'big list'. Some are practical, others are 'pie in the sky'.
